반체제 에이즈 조직에 가입한 청년의 가입인사!   ARC 커뮤니티에서 퍼왔습니다. 단이라는 이름의 이 청년은 "과학"보다 "HIV"와 "에이즈"의 사회학적인 분야에 아주 흥미를" 갖고 있다고 밝히면서, HIV는 AIDS를 초래하지 못하며 나아가 오늘날 AIDS라고 불리는 질병은 "영양 실조, 스트레스, 부적당한 휴식, 부적당한 운동, 더욱 심각해진 환경 오염" 등이 불러 온  재앙이라고 자기 생각을 밝히고 있습니다. 제가 보기에 단은 가입 인사의 모법 답안을 쓴 것 같습니다. 에이즈 문제에 아직도 혼란감을 갖고 있는 사람에게 단의 결정과 소신은 좋은 귀감이 될 것이라고 생각하여, 그의 글을 소개합니다. new member   Dan  2002-07-07 오전 2:54 Alright, after months of reading this board, I've finally decided to join it. I've got many thoughts and issues concerning this topic and hope I can find some commonality here. Although I believe this forum provides pertinent and useful information, I've found it to gets bogged down in some minutely nitty-gritty aspects at times. It's all fine and well, I suppose, but I need information and debate that's more along the layman's lines. My desire is to try and inform people like myself, who aren't going to take classes on virology and microbiology to comprehend what's going on. I'm far more interested in the sociological ramifications of "HIV" and "AIDS" than the "science". I believe the quotation marks are absolutely necessary at this point in time, and actually don't do enough to help convey my thoughts. A brief personal "AIDS" history...heard about "GRID" in college in '82, didn't think much of it until I heard about "AIDS" in '84...at which point I simply believed what I was told and proceeded to live in a state of hypochondria, paralyzing fear and perceived untimely imminent death until close to the present day. I had friends die of "AIDS" during that stretch of time, and I've known people who were "positive" since about '85, and still exhibit not a single "symptom" of this disease. I'd questioned what I'd believed in the back of my mind for many years, because something just wasn't coming together in all of this for me. I thought I was a bit of a psycho for not falling in line with everybody else concerning "AIDS" in recent years, simply because I'm a bit antisocial to begin with, and because I had a nagging feeling that things just weren't adding up. I finally found a sense of salvation about a year ago when I found out that there were actually many people who didn't believe "HIV" causes "AIDS". So here I am at the present day, but still with a million questions...most of them on a sociological level rather than a scientific one. I don't think "AIDS" is still any more than "GRID". I truly believe gay men as a group bear a huge responsibility for this escalating into the epidemic of fear that it currently is...for them. There are plenty of other players in this farce, but I focus on gay men because it has come to deeply define gay identity. I can't believe how many gay men I see around town that have sunken faces, extended guts and "buffalo humps". Even from just a health point, it upsets me. What upsets me more is how much they've so deeply bought into all of this... to deform their bodies so willingly for a belief that if they don't, this microbe will kill them. My biggest problem with gay men and "AIDS" is that it's so much more than complicity. I'm old enough to remember when "HIV" wasn't assumed to be "the" "cause" of "AIDS". I actually remember when we discussed (in '82) the gay culture that seemed to be conducive to immune system collapse. I remember when it seemed that to avoid getting KS, you just didn't do poppers...which I still believe. Discussion in those times seemed absolutely rational by today's standards. Then "HIV" came along, and here was salvation for the gay community at large. Suddenly there was this outside source in which to blame for all of our pain. Let's not question years of drug use...prescription and otherwise. Let's not blame poppers, alcohol, poor diet, and the constant partying of the late '70's and early '80's, let's blame something else so we don't have to consider taking responsibility for our own health. Yay! Back to basics. I personally don't believe that "HIV" causes "AIDS". I'm not sure if I even believe "HIV" exists, and if it does, I certainly don't believe it has the ability to cause the multitude of harm that it supposedly does. What little I know and have read about virology and all things pathogenic is that we have plenty of infectious microbes of sorts running around in our bloodstream. Why do we get sick from them? Often times it's the most obvious reasons..poor general health, malnourishment, stress, inadequate rest, inadequate exercise, added environmental toxicity. I believe "AIDS" was a disease just waiting to happen. It seems like the next logical step in medicine. We've been viewing the body as an absolute battleground for years. People willingly consume all sorts of drugs that do battle in the body. "AIDS" is a natural extension of that. How else could you get people to take "medicine" that was considered too toxic (poison) in the '60's? How can you convince people to put something in their bodies that has the effect of keeping your DNA from replicating? It's just a step beyond the idea of antibiotics...which by definition is something meant to destroy life. We've got to stop seeing the body as a battle field and work with it, instead of against it Ok, a question that's been bothering me for a while. I'm looking for evidence for what would seem boringly, painfully obvious...is there any study, report, paper or article that shows that there's plentiful virus in the semen of men that are supposedly "HIV"-positive and have "AIDS". It's almost painful that I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, especially since "AIDS" is a "sexually-transmitted" disease. Can anybody help me out? Thanks.
